I guess I am one of the usual suspects and leave this month.
1. 777 roster was busy and getting worse. Days off, perhaps 8/month 2 at a time, are more for recovery than for quality time with the family. So NO, not enough rest or days off to cope and your health WILL suffer.
2. Commute? Doesn't matter where you come from you may as well live on the moon.
And for what? Quality of life? Financial reward? All relative at the end of the day, for me I found neither in Dubai or working for EK.
EK treat you like you owe them something, that you needed the job and have nowhere else to go. Of course this change in attitude only takes place once you're here and have burnt the bridge back home.
There is more than enough info available to make a much more informed decision than I did, that at least is true.
